This is one of a number of dem onstrations being held about the State, starting -with Raleigh a week or so ago when Governor Hodges and one of the refuse cans carried on quite a lively con versation, in promotion of the statewide clean-up drive which lies close to the gubernatorial heart. The State Highway Commis sion and other state agencies are cooperating wholeheartedly, and town after town has joined the lists of thoge promoting beauty through cleanliness, Gilmore said in an address made Monday night before the Woman’s Club of St. Anthony’s Catholic Church. As guest speaker at the club’s monthly meeting, the former Southern Pines mayor expressed his satisfaction in the way wom en’s groups—church clubs, garden clubs ^d others—are assisting in the drive. He also expressed his pleasure in the fact that Southem Pines has^ lined up promptly with others in observing “Clean-Up Week,” November through 9, Mayor Blue last week issued a proclamation to this effect. The State Highway Commission is cooperating by placing refuse cans at strategic points along highways, with signs warning mo torists that they may deposit their “litter” in the can so many feet ahead. The State Highway Pa- rtol is distributing “litterbags” for motorists to carry in their cars. Those riding in cars are urged to use these and other de vices rather than throw cigarette butters, food containers and other trash out on the highways. Clean ing such debris from the high ways, said Gilmore, costs the State $250,000 a year. Southem Pines’ two garden clubs are also distributing the “litterbug” bags (Continued on Page 8) PinehiiTst Forum Series To Feature Ten Presentations Various Types Of Memberships Are Available Commander Paul W.

Two Escape From Jail At Carthage; Hunt On Both Held On Theft Charg es; No Clues Yet A search for two escapees from the Moore County jail in Carth age was temporarily slowed down this week as all officers turned their ' full attention to helping locate a man who shot and killed two State Highway Patrolmen Tuesday night.

The Sheriff’s Department said the search was being conducted in several states for the pair, bothi facipg felony charges and scheduled for trial in Superior Court next week. ^ 'The escape was the first suc cessful one from the jail in the past 25 years.

He surmised that Lowe some how got the jail keys for a brief period and while on kitchen duty managed to unlock the door of the cell where Phillips was be ing held. Others in Phillips’ ceU said they had been sleeping and didn’t notice anything unusual.
